SECOND UPDATE MARCH 15, 2022:
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A new law enforcement report says fractures around Bob Saget’s eye sockets and bleeding around his brain were possibly caused by the comedian hitting “something hard, covered by something soft,” such as a carpeted floor. The report from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office was released Tuesday. It includes a description of the medical examiner’s conclusions after performing an autopsy on Sagat’s body in January. The comedian was found by a hotel security officer on his hotel bed at the Ritz Carlton in Orlando on Jan. 9. His death has been ruled accidental.
UPDATE MARCH 15, 2022:
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A judge in Florida has agreed to make permanent an order that prohibits the release of photos, video or other records related to the investigation into the death of comedian Bob Saget. Circuit Judge Vincent Chiu said Monday during a court hearing in Orlando that he would issue a permanent injunction requested by Saget’s widow and his three daughters. The family members had filed a lawsuit seeking to stop the release of any records from the local medical examiner’s office and the Orange County Sheriff’s Office involving the investigation into Saget’s death. The medical examiner says the 65-year-old comedian died from an accidental blow to the head, likely from a fall backward.
UPDATE FEBRUARY 10, 2022:
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A medical examiner in Florida says comedian Bob Saget died from blunt head trauma, likely from an “unwitnessed fall.” Saget was found dead in a Florida hotel room on Jan. 9, 2022, after performing stand-up comedy the night before. Thursday’s (Feb. 10, 2022) statement from Medical Examiner Joshua Stephany in Orlando says a toxicology analysis didn’t show any illicit drugs or toxins in Saget’s body. The statement says Saget’s death was an accident. That conclusion was first announced by the family of the “Full House” star. They said the coroner concluded that “he accidentally hit the back of his head on something, thought nothing of it and went to sleep.”
